Saved mode is used to view a map of the underwater environment that can be reviewed and examined either on or off of the Navigating a StructureMap in saved mode water. It can be used when revisiting an area that has already been scanned in order to assist the user in positioning the vessel or locating specific points of interest. NOTE: If there is more than one StructureMap of the same area on the same SD card, the maps will overlap on your screen. If you want to have more than one map of the same area, you should put the maps on separate SD cards. 3
